I Believe

Over thirty years of study and working almost exclusively with relational issues have given me a unique and powerful perspective on relationships, love, happiness, and the decisions which lead to a meaningful life.

About Pat Love

My passion for teaching and helping people making life-affirming decisions has fueled my excitement as a licensed marriage and family therapist for over 30 years. The desire to give wise counsel and pass along vital information have motivated me to publish seven books and create numerous online trainings and courses. Working with thousands of people nationally and internationally has broadened my perspective and opened my mind to a multitude of ways to improve our lives.

I earned a doctorate; have taken a multitude of post-graduate certification trainings; and studied relationships for decades to help myself (I had a lot to learn) as well as the people I love, but also to help others strengthen our human ties which I believe to be the primary source of contentment and hope.

I've made an attempt to share the knowledge I've gained through my books:
